15. This is stupid - from DEATH OF A CHARMING MAN

by M. C. Beaton......this is really, really, dumb.....

From the remote Highland village of Lochdubh Scotland:

The titled man has got all the ladies in the village in a tizzy,

Jimmy says:

"Women. My Nancy's got her face painted like a tart and she's dyed her hair black. Aye, and she threatened me wi' the bread knife. Whit's the world coming tae?"

"Ye've got naethin' tae worry about, " said Andrew, an older crofter whose nutcracker face was seamed and wrinkled. "I 'member when my Jeannie went daft. You know whit it was?"

"No, that I don't."

"It's the Men's Paws."

"The Whit?"

"The Men's Paws. The change. Drives the women fair daft, that it does. I talked to the doctor about Jeannie and he said, 'Jist ignore it and it'll go away,' and so it did."
